The Chequers in Wycombe

Just re-opened and served a fantastic Sunday lunch. Lovely friendly country pub. Landlady and staff lovely and welcoming.

used to be an excellent pub, sadly after Alan and Julie left pub was closed for a time, I think it has reopened now but no information can be found

Thoroughly enjoyed our carvery Sunday lunch. Great food and fantastic service. Would defo recommend 👍🏼

We had a fabulous Sunday lunch here today. The food was homemade and amazing! My coeliac husband was very happy to learn they catered so well for gluten free requirements and he absolutely loved the GF apple and blackberry crumble. The people are lovely and we can't wait to return! We definitely recommend!!

I have already reviewed this pub after a visit in 2019 but I have just returned and under new management it is even better. This is a traditional village pub with a traditional range of menu options. We were lucky as it was a beautiful sunny evening so we sat outside and ate as the sun went down. The staff were all really friendly and the food was very good. It would have been nice if they served at least one local beer but that is a minor point.

Delightful food, very attentive staff and a lovely beer garden. IPA was lovely - highly worth a visit. Would definitely recommend.

Myself and the other 2 mums all got together for Mother’s Day. We decided to go to The Chequers Inn as it was close to us all. Very easy to get to! We went for the carvery roast and it did not disappoint! The food was absolutely delicious, even the fussier eaters cleared their plates and had no criticism. You get a lot of food and definitely don’t leave feeling hungry. The deserts were £5 I believe and again you get a good portion. The owners were very good at talking to customers and making you feel welcome. Although our first time we felt as if we were regulars. Highly recommend, even if not for the food, just the ambiance is a great place to be! The owners are doing such an amazing job, we will definitely be coming back!

Excellent food and service Very friendly staff Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the Sunday carvery Very reasonable price

First time visit , this will be a first of many . The food is tasty the staff is even better ! Welcoming ,warm and funny . #welovealan they even made vegan stuff for us .

Had the most delicious carvery with the missus here today. Literally one of the best roasts I've ever had out!!

This is the best pub I’ve been to in a long time. Julie and Alan and all the staff were so friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious. The minted lamb shank was so tasty as was the Cajun chicken. Just a shame we didn’t get to try the Sunday roast! Great pub and definitely worth a visit

Again, a great Sunday lunch with our hosts Julie and Allan - great atmosphere and staff were excellent. Looking forward to another visit soon

This was the first time we had been out to a restaurant in a year and a half and we had been recommended this place for Sunday lunches and we had a friend visit us from Wales so we decided to give the Chequers a go. Well what can I say we had a warm welcome from the landlord and land lady, we had a good choice of seating nice and soft and really comfortable. The menu didn't have a great choice but it offered home made typical pub food. But typical in taste it wasn't home made pies home made cottage pie and beef and vegetarian lasagne with attention to detail on flavour as good as any fine dining restaurant I've ever visited. The portions were large, hot and beautifully cooked and seasoned. Finished off with some nice puddings sticky toffee puddings and rhubarb crumble not sure how home made the sticky toffee puddings were though. We are all looking forward to our next visit as soon as possible. And I would recomend this pub and restaurant without hesitation. £75.00 for 3 of us with two rounds of drinks. Great value for money.

Fantastic and friendly staff who made us feel very welcome! The ploughman’s lunch is amazing and we can’t wait to go back very soon!

Waited a long time for this but it was so worth it. Sunday roast of beef, roast potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, cheesy leeks, green beans, julienne carrots, stuffing, Yorkshire pudding, pigs in blankets (no parsnips so assume these were a substitute) and meat gravy with sticky toffee pudding and custard which I’ll have later on tonight. A little note on the top saying ‘it was lovely to have you back’. I can just turn that around and say it was lovely to have you back as well. Another top score of 10.

We've been to the Chequers three times now and the same great experience - the staff are great and fun people to be around, the food is excellent and huge portionsAlways a pleasure to visit, and for us 35 miles away which says it allJulie, Alan and the rest of the staff, great experience!

Wow, what an excellent roast sunday lunch, served up in a friendly and timely manner. Great portion size and all cooked to perfection. I had beef whilst wife had lamb shank, both with all the trimmings and more. Great value too, would definitely recommend.

A lovely little country feel pub. Great outside seating areas, cosy restaurant at the back. Menu was varied, good freshly home-cooked dinners. Staff were friendly and chatty. Children and dogs welcome! Fab pub.

Superb food and exemplary service on a very business night. Five Stars!! Easy parking and plenty of room.

Living a few miles away I hadn’t yet been to the Chequers Inn but after reading reviews on my villages Facebook page and wanting a Sunday roast I rung up and ordered a take away one. Roast lamb, roast potatoes, carrots, French beans, broccoli, cauliflower, parsnip, Yorkshire pudding, stuffing and gravy for under £10. Not knowing how big the portions would be l also ordered a side order of cheesy leeks (which you could have eaten as a meal in themselves) and a dessert (which is in the fridge for tomorrow). Total cost - £14.50. Score 10 out of 10. I will be going back.

Brilliant food and service in a friendly atmosphere. From arrival and despite CV19 restrictions, we were very well looked after. Drinks service was prompt, locals very friendly (nice number of ‘hellos’) and the food was very good indeed. In fact, the portions were massive and the Daddy Burger was the size of a small bus!

I would recommend eating there as often as possible 😊 good food, good beer and a great atmosphere 👍

We’ve visited the pub a few times over the years and have experienced the many landlords and I can say that Allan & Julie are by far the best, offering food that is delicious, freshly cooked and hot. The staff make you feel welcome from the moment you step in the door with their bubbly and friendly nature. Your enjoyment is their only concern

Great little country pub with plenty of seating, great beer, great food and friendly people. Well worth a visit.

Lovely atmosphere, management,and food.i could not finish it all,there was that much. I'll definitely go again.

Popped in to grab some lunch, warm welcome, great food and service. They know how to keep a good pint and food freshly cooked food. Feel guilty leaving a positive review, it’s a hidden gem

My husband and I stayed at this beautiful country pub/hotel on route to west Sussex. Friendly welcome, clean,tidy and generally gorgeous. We enjoyed a fabulous evening meal. Cosy bar with open fires. Bedroom was spacious, very comfy bed. Nice decor. Lovely en-suite. Good heart breakfast with a nice selection. The team were very accommodating. Would highly recommend.

Is it just us, or is it hard to find normal decent pub grub? Did the Chequers give us an exceptional meal? No. But was there anything to complain about? No. Is that unusual? Fairly. Maybe it is just us!Ended up here thanks to TripAdvisor reviews and hubby's desire for ham, egg and chips. After a drive through the beautiful Chilterns and past some equally beautiful pubs such as the Frog and Yew Tree, here we are at basically an average village pub. The garden table, complete with bird poo (it's ok, sh*t happens!) was complemented by the constant hum of the very nearby M40. Service (chatty), drinks and food were fine. Chips and my ciabatta and salad were fresh and tasty, ham was generous if not exceptional, but not unacceptable in any way. Pretty quiet for a Saturday lunchtime and a pretty wide (laminated, enough said) menu.Unless you were seeking an acceptable ham, egg and chips, this wouldn't be a destination pub (especially with the local competition), but you could certainly do a lot worse.

We popped in to the Chequers Inn for lunch and overall was fairly satisfied. It is a lovely location, the staff are friendly but had a bit of an issue with the food - one of us had a roast beef sandwhich - presentation was excellent - coleslaw, crisps, salad with dressing however the sandwhich was caked in butter and the beef was too thick and tough. Someone else had the tuna sandwich and again everything was fine except for the filling. There are varying cans of tuna and unfortunately this was the slightly "mushy", tasteless type. Having said all that,I will give it another go.....

Chequers is a friendly pub with plenty of choice of food which is excellent quality and good service. There are plenty of tables to eat at, both indoors and outdoors. Parking is a bit limited. The pub seems particularly welcoming of dogs.

Came to The Chequers Inn for an impromptu lunch as we had heard good things about it since the new owners took over and boy were they were not wrong!We went for two of the classics, Ham Egg and Chips an Hand battered Cod and chips.How refreshing it was to have actual home baked ham and hand battered cod rather than a cheap inferior!!Talk about does what it says on the tin.Good pub food at good prices with friendly staff and atmosphere.Will most certainly be back!!

Visited this great pub on Saturday night, we enjoyed the great live music, sampled fabulous home cooked food and partook in plenty of fine ales. The staff were very friendly,welcoming and attentive throughout the busy evening.This pub is well worth a visit for multiple reasons!!.

We had been out for a nice walk with friends and pre-booked lunch. This can always be a little gamble when you've not 'checked out' the pub before - No need, The Chequers checked out just fine!

We called in for a couple of drinks and some lunch. We received a very warm welcome and the bar staff were lovely. The pub has been renovated since I was last there.

Love this beautifully re-decorated, homely and very welcoming gem in the Chilterns countryside. Great location for walking up your appetite before a visit ... or walking off the lovely food & puds! (This pub is very welcoming of dogs.)

We went for a Saturday lunch at the pub as we were keen to see it following a refurbishment.

A friend and I visited for dinner on a cold winters evening. The pub has been recently refurbished and is very much in keeping with the building. Stylish and cosy, with modern loos and all spotlessly clean.

We recently visited The Chequers with our extended family of 7. On arrival we felt a warm warm welcome from both the staff & log fire.

Stumbled across this by accident some months ago and can't rate it highly enough. The owners had just taken over and have now transformed it with cosy seating areas and wonderful food (large portions) - having been back several times since! Best thing for us is that it is dog friendly (and the ham, egg & chips!!) Loved the fact that the chef came out afterwards and made sure everything was OK - you don't get that in many places!!

Very welcoming, I did book ahead as the pub is always extremely busy on a Sunday. As this is the prefect setting for a great proper Sunday Lunch with all the trimming and great location and a very beautiful pub/restaurant.

Had a disappointing meal on Sunday, we usually love this restaurant but things were not good this time.

This is not a 'gastro pub' but if you are looking for an old fashioned pub which serves a traditional range of bar foods this is wonderful. We went for lunch and there were dogs under the bar stools, a raging fire and a really warm welcome. We sat at the back with my elderly father and had burgers & chips with a beer and it was wonderful. We were early and the first table there but it took a while for the food to arrive, a good sign as it was evidently being cooked for us. The chef brought the food out and then came back and checked it was OK. If you want something fancy this is not the place but I loved it!

Booked for family Sunday lunch. Very welcoming. Portions very generous. Served attentively. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Good value for money. Lots of walks available in the surrounding area. Dogs welcome.

Excellent service and meal. Food was plentiful, hot and tasty. Highly recommend. Loved the quirky soup dishes 😊

Small pub with a nice atmosphere. Restaurant in the back, so plenty of room for drinking at the bar, which creates a nice atmosphere. Staff very friendly. Menu is good pub food, its well cooked and good value for money. Definitely come again.

A small country pub, good beer and welcoming barmaid. Menu was wider than expected with a good choice and our meals were promptly served, home made, nicely presented and tasty. Lacked customers and atmosphere at lunch time - could do with some music perhaps ?. Live 40 miles away so wouldn't go out of my way to visit again, but fine if you are local.

Had a great diner here. Nothing too fancy, just well prepared food in a cozy old pub with a contemporary feel.

We stopped here for lunch and had a great meal in a lovely pub. The staff were cheerful and friendly and the quality of the food was excellent. Highly recommended.

Visitamos este pub unas cuantas veces, que ha sido reformado con buen gusto por los nuevos propietarios. Muy amable y acogedor, con un buen servicio y muy buena comida. Chimenea de leña en el bar cuando hace frío, el restaurante luminoso y espacioso en la parte trasera que conduce a un pequeño jardín, que en verano es una verdadera trampa de sol. Perros también. Bien merece una visita.

Very pleasant pub, very friendly been before in September and had a great meal then i had the Steak & chips with a superb salad very happy Chef was very kind and made me a mushroom sauce to go with.

Brilliant pub. Visit most Sundays with our young children, always very accommodating and will even fit us in last minute. Lovely staff and in the summer the front garden is a lovely sun trap. Very welcoming and cosy

We had a family lunch at the Chequers and we will certainly return. Laura was a fabulous host and the food and drink were delicious. Nice homely pub food that was presented very nicely and good portion sizes. Would certainly recommend.

Went to High Wycombe to stay with some friends beautiful place, the Chequers Inn is one of those propper country pubs with a warm feel brilliant food and a happy atmosphere so pleased I went there.

Sunday lunch at the Checquers today was roast lamb and all the trimmings: a large portion of tender lamb with crunchy roasties, honeyed parsnips and perfectly cooked vegetables. We were a large group and the dining area was busy, but the service was excellent and we all received perfect, hot food in excellent time.

I like it! Nice local place with good selection of ales and food. I had amazing fish and chips. Definitely I will come back if I'm in the area.

Large lunch group from u3a. Made a real effort for us. Service excellent. Food much better than I had expected. Good presentation. Value for money. I would certainly goagain.

5 of us went for dinner last night and I cannot say a bad thing about the place.Excellent service and superb food! Really well presented, tasty and excellent value.Lovely little restaraunt.Would definitely recommend.

The food was delicious and the staff couldn't have been nicer. Only criticism is that the lighting in the restaurant is very harsh and a few lamps/candles could soften the atmosphere. Deserves to be busier with the quality of the meal.

Really good food great value only us and one other table on a Sat night with the quality and value would have thought it would have been busier but still worth a visit I would go back

Food really good, chef obviously knows his stuff. Small cosy restaurant so may need to book. Been several times, food and service always top notch and happy to go again and take family and friends.

I have been here for dinner several times over the last few months and the food has been excellent. The pie of the day is always freshly made and excellent and I can also highly recommend the brie parcel for vegetarians. All round lovely dinner spot!

My girlfriend and I visited on a weekday evening for something to eat. After a very friendly welcome we were very impressed with the food and the atmosphere of the place. Will definitely be going back again.

outstanding meal outstanding staff very fast service defo goin there again very soon exelent little vilage pub

This pub has gone through a lot of change , but with the new chef in place , I've eaten here 3 times now and not been disappointed . The portions are good and the food is fresh and full of flavour . I'm a vegetarian so this helps. The bar is usually full of friendly locals and its a very relaxed country pub atmosphere . It's definently worth a visit , especially on a nice evening as there is a front and back garden !!!

Great little pub local to us in Piddington...fish n chips and a gourmet burger with a pint and glass of Pinot later...well satisfied...under new management with great service...keep up the good work

Lovely old pub with beautiful surrounding area however, i have visited this pub for a sunday roast with my husband, i ordered roast pork. The food was served out on a cold plate with very grisly pork and as i began eat the veg half of it ended up on the floor as it was so uncooked i couldnt get my fork into it! However, the food was well presented and had a good menu with plenty of variety for all customers, however, i did feel that the food was overpriced along with the drinks that were on offer. Service was good and we enjoyed the majority of our visit. However, i attended the common event and was thirsty for a pint at the chequers, however, unfortunately for some unknown reason the pub was closed and with many others also wanting a pint we headed down to the nearest local for a drink, i found this very disappointing as this would have been a great opportunity for good trade on such a sunny and busy day, this is a great family pub but does need some areas of improvment

I'd visited this pub once before last year when it was quite rough and ready but it appears to be under new ownership and has had a complete turnaround. The staff are polite and friendly and the other customers are friendly and feel part of an extended family. My friend and I sat in the well kept garden and had one of the best pub lunches I've tried at a reasonable price (the bubble and sausage and pork belly we had were truly excellent).I hadn't expected to find a place of this quality so far off the beaten track, and I'm amazed at how far its turned around in such a short time. A lovely family feel in an unstuffy surroundings, a pleasant change to the nearby bars.

Lovely little pub with a tasty menu. The family and I really enjoy coming here for lunch and have never been disappointed with the food or pub as a whole.

Haven't been here for a few months as they hadn't been serving food for a while.Visited on Sunday, food was lovely and deserts were also really good. Even had a gluten free option. Waitress was polite and good service. Much better than past staff that were here with prior owners.As its my local will be on here for food more often.

New chef clearly knows his trade. Great food, well presented. Nice interesting menu offering much more than the usual pub fayre.

Popped in for lunch and sat outside. Menu looked good and chef trying some new dishes on the staff. Our food was good and fresh and the service very friendly. Worth a visit.

I have been to this pub in the past and it was good, but now its absolutely brilliant, great new management, great food, friendly atmosphere. I am definitely going to be coming back here.

I write this as a regular.Glad to report that the newly refurbished restaurant is back up and running at The Chequers - the pub has been under new management for about six months now but with no food until recently. The food (under new chef Brian) is excellent - special mention to the Seafood Starter, Pork Belly, Jacobs Ladder Beef Rib and any of the amazing puddings.Sunday lunchtime the roasts are varied and look very good but I haven't tried it yet.For us locals it's great to have good food back at The Chequers - if you're not a local come along and try it, you'll be impressed.Good luck Brian, Laura, Jim and all the staff.

We have been customers of this pub for a few years now and the current landlady is friendly and welcoming and the pub is looking better than ever. There is always a good selection of beers available and children, dogs and muddy walkers are welcome. We have eaten in the restaurant twice since it was refurbished and enjoyed both meals very much. The Sunday roast was excellent value for money and very tasty and the evening menu was very appealing - choosing what to have was quite a challenge! My husband had the pork belly and I had the duck breast and we were both very impressed. We will definitely be back very soon!

Restaurant reopened on Saturday with new chef.Good selection of well cooked and tasty fare and reasonable prices.Definitely worth a visit.

We sought out this pub on the understanding that it did a good range of food but when we walked in we found ourselves to be the only lunchtime customers and no meals of any kind to be available. We were told this was because we've 'only just found a chef'. All we could do was enjoy a pint (from a very good range of Fullers and Gales ales on pump) and some crisps. No menus were on display anywhere.We asked if this was all perhaps because it had recently been taken over, but the solitary barman said that wasn't the case. He offered no further explanation or conversation. There was complete silence, not even any background music or radio to break up a rather eerie atmosphere.This pub features in the AA Pub Guide 2015. That's why we made a special trip to reach it, on this experience we couldn't recommend others should do the same.

High Wycombe Hash House Harriers run every Tuesday evening from pubs within a 10 mile radius on Wycombe and rank them according to Beer, Non-Beer, Food, and Atmosphere (or hash-mosphere as we like to call it!)Beer: 3 decent ales on + a couple of ciders including ‘The Devil’s Own’…or something like that, and at almost 9%, who’s arguing?! Seafarers from Gales Brewery (£3.40) was lovely - light but full-bodied, very quaffable 3.6%, London Pride (£3.60) was adjudged ‘very good’ and ESB (£3.80) similarly so, although it ran out just after we got there. Food: ‘Fantastic chippings!’ ‘Nuff said really - great home-cooked chips served along with bowls of cheese and bacon bits. Hash-mosphere: Lovely front bar, big wood burner, nice rear area all to ourselves, low beams, atmospheric lighting - all in all, very agreeable indeed. The landlady/barmaid/person behind the bar was widely complimented on her ability to serve 3 people at once, with the maximum of efficiency and the minimum of fuss. Parking might be a bit of an issue on a narrow country road, but with such a haven of warmth and coziness inside to aim for, who cares? Plus, if you’re drinking ‘The Devil’s Own’, you shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near a car anyway!

We stopped here for some refreshments and thoroughly enjoyed the friendly and welcoming atmosphere of the place. It has a rather "Olde Worlde" feel about it which adds to its charm. We had hoped for some cooked food but unfortunately none was available at the moment but were told that meals would be available again after a new chef has been engaged. We will certainly pay another visit.

Have eaten here a few times now since the new landlady & chef have arrived. The quality of the Sunday roasts are excellent, the home made burgers are to die for, not to forget the homemade soups pies and beer battered fish. I you like traditional pub food with a little modern twist then The Chequers at Wheeler End is well worth a visit.

Having eaten in this pub quite a few times in the past with both family and friends, but not recently, I was very disappointed by my visit this evening. It seems to have changed ownership and has definitely gone downhill. Previously, the menu had a good, varied selection; now it is very limited and uninspiring as well as overpriced for the food on offer. Food very mediocre, although it was very hot. I could have stayed at home and had as a better meal for a fraction of the cost! Will not be visiting again in the future.

I took a dear friend of mine to this local pub which, when we last visited in May, did some fairly decent food and had quite a nice ambience.On arrival, this being a Friday night, I was surprised that the atmosphere was absolutely dead and the place smelt vaguely like a farm yard - this should have been my first set of clues! We were one of two sets of diners at 8pm and though the food served to my friend was reasonable (but not that great for the price), the rib eye steak I ordered was thinner than shoe leather and didn't taste an awful lot better - pepper sauce was not served as requested but some spirit tasting substitute which was fairly foul was. On enquiring with the waitress as to where the very nice Maitre D was that had served us so well on my previous visit, she advised that not only had he left but so had the Chef and in very short order.Having completed the meal, we moved to the front of house bar area to order some refreshments. This was occupied by a gentleman who from small talk whilst ordering our drinks indicated he was the landlord and who carried on sipping at the bar while several of his very drunken clientele proceeded to play fight quite vigorously and engage in expletives that would certainly not be suitable for anyone considering this as a family venue.Since we found this behaviour unacceptable and extremely uncomfortable we moved to the outdoor seating area to finish the drinks we had ordered but sadly we were confronted with more of the same.This is very definately not a family venue!

On first impression the Chequers seems to be a delightful country pub, set in the rolling Chilterns, overlooking a common, with a pretty little garden front and rear, almost a picture perfect country pub. I say almost because it's only when you go in the front door you understand the pub has two sides to it. I have been staying locally for work and like to venture out to avoid becoming a hotel based bore and a colleague mentioned in passing about this pub. It's got a great atmosphere he said so on a warm June night I popped in to see.The first thing you notice is the low ceilings, dark woodwork and centrally located bar with a range of ales, and the standard lagers - all good so far. The next thing you notice are the front of house staff....Here is where it all went a little bit wrong for me.Now I am a man of the world, ex forces, been about the block a bit, seen some stuff, but the language that came from this young lady (lady used loosely) was quite something. Not directed at me I might add, but at a small group of baseball cap wearing lads who were sat at a table near a dart board mounted on an alarming wine cork wall. I won't repeat what was said, but after asking for a pint of Fullers Pride, the "Banter" continued.whilst my beer was served and paid for, not a please or a thank you in sight, just a range of bawdy expletives mainly prefixed with the letter F.I retired to a corner by a wall mounted TV where a man, who I presumed to be the landlord sat at the end of the bar, a 1664 in front of him, interested, it seemed only in the TV, with an occasional look into the cellar and a more than occasional trip outside for a smoke.it was quite retro in as much as the loud lads in the corner were eating meals out of a plastic looking basket, something I had not seen since the 70's but it looked like food from the 70's too and the smell of cooking coming from the kitchen was that of deep fried food.It was a busy little pub, specifically for locals it would seem, with people popping in and out with many hellos, alright's and (I kid you not) "what the fuff do you want's" from the delightful, if not loud thing behind the bar. The bar staff swapped for a little while so potty mouth could go for a fag "I'm gasping I ain't ad a fag for an fuffing hour" and a blonde, shoeless young girl took over, she did not swear, but she did turn some music up and danced a bit freakily behind the bar.I had another beer and my change was delivered with the new bar girl actually sliding in her socks across the bar....surreal. I asked to see a menu, but was told we are only doing snacks and was shown a scrappy printed piece of paper, which I took to be the basket meals being eaten by the basket cases, so I decided to abstain and had a bag of nuts instead.It may have been an off night, but this pub that promises from first impressions to have it all, seemed more like a rundown seaside/town pub where the punters, staff and management all appeared to have given up.

An honest pub, a county pub, a good menu, not too complicated or gastro. Great for food, lunch is brilliant, dinner is top notch, had the best rib eye steak here. Brilliant fun if you just want a drink too, not too serious a place, just how pubs used to be and just how all pubs should be

Haven't been here for a while but must visit again as we had no complaints the first second or third time we ate there. Great food, lovely hosts.

I love this pub for lunch, I always go with my team and we have a really nice time there. The garden in huge, you only have to order your food inside and enjoy the sunshine, in summer of course:)

Had a lovely meal here with my family.Food was very nice, Lovely spot in the country.Will defo be going again to try the rest of the menu
